    I know someone who is a cop in the Bay Area. Or used to know; after summer 2020 I wouldn’t remain friends with any member of LEO. I kept wondering if his name would come up. Thankfully, it didn’t.

      Yeah you forgot deprivation of civil rights, obstruction, and steriod drug dealing. Also they weren’t cheating on college tests, like most people think where you would ask your classmate for an answer or bring a cheat sheet to the test. They literally hired someone else to do the tests for them.

      In regards to the deprivation of rights of course it includes unnecessary violence with one police officer literally bragging,

      He got his a** whooped in the back yard and I field goal kicked his head. I tried to knock him unconscious.

      Don’t minimize the misconduct of those who are supposed to be held to a higher standard.
